Crash Barrier Gate System Section 2 2.4 Pre‐Installation Considerations: Ensure Power and Data Conduits are Properly in Place Verify that the client‐supplied power conduit and any low voltage data connections, for example to a guard shack for a control switch, are properly installed beneath where the Control Cabinet will be secured. Any other options to be installed, for example cabling for an electronic card reader, should have the conduit run to the Control Cabinet prior to positioning the Control Cabinet in place. Once the Control Cabinet has been anchored to the ground, it is very difficult to route any cabling into the unit. (Drilling into the side of the unit is not recommended.) For this reason it is imperative to ensure that all power and control data wiring be properly installed prior to installation. Cabling for control data must always be run in a separate conduit from power. 2.5 Pre‐Installation Considerations: Optional Inductive Loop Vehicle Detector (Saw Cut Control Loop) The figure below depicts a CBG‐100 with an optional Inductive Loop Vehicle Detector or saw cut control loop. The rectangular loop should be cut and prepared prior to the system installation process. IMPORTANT NOTE ‐‐ the cut that leads from the loop to the area under the Control Cabinet must be cut and extended under the base of the cabinet prior to any other installation steps.

Crash Barrier Gate System Section 3 The Spike Systems CBG family removes air from the hydraulic lines through normal use of the system. However, after installing the hydraulic hoses and cylinders, it is often advisable to manually bleed or purge air from the system. To do this, place a 3/8” drain hose on the upper bleeder valve in the Non‐Control Cabinet, place the other end of the bleeder hose in a waste container, open the bleeder valve and operate the Barrier Gate up and down (manually) until air no longer comes through the bleeder tube. To avoid performing this step manually, which requires the lifting and lowering of the Barrier Gate, hydraulic system bleeding can be performed after the installation is complete by using AC power to lift and lower the Barrier Gate. WARNING ‐‐ Use extreme caution to avoid injury if using AC power to raise and lower the Barrier Gate when performing hydraulic system bleeding. When air has been purged from the hydraulic system, retighten the bleeder valves, remove the drain hose and clean any hydraulic fluid that may have dripped inside either Cabinet.

Crash Barrier Gate System Section 4 shaft seal damage. All electric connections should be done according to local standards. Failure to comply with local standards and use of non‐certified components may result in injury. All hydraulic connections should be made, and the proper fluid should be present in the reservoir before, running the Hydraulic pump. Seal Kits and Components To obtain a seal kit, the model number and serial number of the powerpack is needed. Most parts are available separately, however the pump is only replaced in whole and separate trust‐plates or loose shafts cannot be obtained. In order to ensure the quality and performance of our product, all Hydraulic pumps are tested for performance at the factory. Connections Hoses and fittings connected to the pump should be clean and free of any burs, oxidation and carbon deposits. The hydraulic connections must be of adequate pressure rating, and should be inspected on a regular basis to avoid leakage or possible bursting due to high pressure. The size of the hydraulic connections must be determined with the oil flow of the hydraulic pump in mind (1000 PSI) to avoid back‐pressure in the system. This could create unwanted heat buildup. The fluid level in the reservoir should be monitored at regular intervals. A fluid level below the intake strainer will cause damage to the pump due to cavitations of the pump. The hydraulic pump is designed to stand vertically. Adjustments Since the hydraulic pump has a fixed displacement pump installed, oil flow is constant and determined by the speed of the electric motor. Therefore, the pump flow cannot be adjusted. The adjustment for the pressure relief valve will adjust pressure only. It will not increase pump flow. The relief valve is set to a pressure specified when the hydraulic pump was tested. The specified pressure applies to the specific system in which it is installed. The setting can be changed in the field and should be as close as possible to the maximum working pressure of the system. The standard pressure relief valve protects the pump; it should only be adjusted if the pressure reaches an unwanted high level. It is an emergency valve only. It should not be blocked off or turned in completely to avoid bursting of components. Adjustments are made by first removing the cap nut and loosening the lock nut. A clockwise rotation of the adjustment stem increases the pressure and a counter‐ clockwise rotation decreases pressure. The lock nut should be tightened after adjustment, and the cap nut should be re‐installed to avoid changing the setting by vibration and to avoid hydraulic fluid leakage. Please contact the factory if you have any questions or concerns relating to your hydraulic pump.
Crash Barrier Gate System Section 4 4.4 Barrier Gate Cable Maintenance Considerations When new systems are shipped to an installation site, the security cable is already in place inside the Barrier Gate, and the access plates are secured. For a new installation, it is not necessary to modify the security cable in any way. From a maintenance perspective, if a vehicle contacts the Barrier Gate and bends or distorts the Barrier Gate, replacement of the Barrier Gate is required. When this occurs, the security cable can be removed from the damaged Barrier Gate and installed within the replacement Barrier Gate. To remove a security cable from a damaged Barrier Gate, remove both square access plates (right and left) from the Barrier Gate assembly using a ½” wrench or socket. It may be necessary to use a flat blade screwdriver to pry the cable loop off of the circular internal support on both sides. Pull the cable through the damaged Barrier Gate from either side. To install a security cable inside a Spike Systems Gate, ensure that both access plates (left and right) have been removed from the replacement Barrier Gate using a ½” wrench or socket. From either side of the Barrier Gate, thread the cable through the Barrier Gate and place the loop of the cable over the circular support on each side of the Barrier Gate. Once the cable is placed over both circular supports, replace the right and left access plates. Figure 67 – Barrier Gate Cable Access Panel Removal, Maintenance Only...
